I have a Macsa ID F-9020 laser. It comes with Macsa software. It’s very limited and designed for production line use.
I’m looking to use this laser with lightburn but I can’t seem to get it connected. I don’t know what controller it has in it? When looking at the config in the provided software it says “ScanLinux sm121/sm128”
Can a different control card be added? Or am I stuck with this software? I tried several options in lightburn but nothing connects.
It communicates over IP.
It appears to be a proprietary machine, meaning Lightburn probably cannot talk to the controller…
Most of these have a laser source, control board, galvo head… The control board is what needs to be Lightburn compatible.
You will have to look inside to see what source it has and if possible what control board is in it…
Most of these can have the control board changed out, but without seeing it’s I can’t make a 100% statement.
This is changing out an EZCad3 board for an EZCad2 to make it Lightburn compatible… It should illustrate, relatively, what needs to done …
